Representation Theory of Finite Groups

Representation Theory Of Finite Groups

In mathematics, representation theory is a technique for analyzing abstract groups in terms of groups of linear transformations. See the article on group representations for an introduction. This article discusses the representation theory of groups that have a finite number of elements.

Famous quotes containing the words theory, finite and/or groups:

    “The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    “The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Trees appeared in groups and singly, revolving coolly and blandly, displaying the latest fashions. The blue dampness of a ravine. A memory of love, disguised as a meadow. Wispy clouds—the greyhounds of heaven.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
